I build the operating layer that makes work visible, owned, and predictable. Before automation or AI.

Most teams don't have an effort problem. They have a transfer problem.

Strategy exists. Tools exist. People work hard. But the system doesn't carry work end to end, so leaders become the safety net.

I install the connective layer that makes handoffs reliable, ownership clear, and progress observable.

Experience

My background spans senior commercial roles (including GM level responsibility), education and EdTech environments, and complex digital ecosystems. More recently I am a founder of three companies.

I've worked closely with developers and platform teams, and I've led system design that connects software, data, workflows, and ownership so execution doesn't rely on individual heroics.

My advantage is range across the handoffs, marketing to sales, sales to delivery, leadership to operations, so I can see where momentum breaks and install the operating layer that makes transfer reliable.

Beyond diagnosis, he aligned internal stakeholders and presented a structured path forward that secured buy in for both immediate improvements and long term positioning. Andrew brings rare clarity to complex challenges and a deep understanding of how systems, teams, and execution need to connect. That combination makes him a trusted partner whenever meaningful change is required.

He also has excellent knowledge in the digital space and has helped shaped the strategic direction of the College in terms of the integration of technology as a tool for learning and communicating. Andrew has been tireless in his efforts to bring a strategic and consistent approach to the manner in which communication occurs at the College and we are seeing the benefit of this with strong enrolment growth.
